Museum featuring Asian works opens on Japanese island of art
KYODO NEWS - 14 hours ago - 19:02 | Arts, All, Travel/Tourism A museum dedicated to contemporary Asian works opened Saturday on Naoshima Island in Kagawa Prefecture, known as an island of art and the only Japanese destination to make the BBC's list of the 25 best places to travel in 2025. The Naoshima New Museum of Art, designed by renowned architect Tadao Ando, is located in a hilltop village overlooking the Seto Inland Sea in western Japan. Featuring black plaster walls and stone fences, the building has a calm, subdued appearance. Built low to blend into the surrounding landscape, the museum has one floor above ground and two below, with four galleries arranged around a stairwell illuminated by natural light. Many tourists and families with children visited on Saturday. Naoshima has gained fame for its extensive collection of contemporary art pieces and facilities. Since the 1980s, education services provider Benesse Corp. has played a central role in developing and managing the island's museums and related initiatives. Hideaki Fukutake, head of the foundation operating the facility, said at the opening ceremony, "One of the attractions of the Naoshima New Museum of Art is that it remains in a constant state of evolution, with works being added and exhibits regularly changed." The opening exhibition showcases works by 12 artists from across Asia, including Japan, China, South Korea and Indonesia. The museum is considering future programs that visitors can participate in.

Balloon rides at ancient burial mounds in Sakai get nod
An image that the Sakai municipal government released in 2023 (Provided by Sakai municipal government) SAKAI, Osaka Prefecture--City authorities gave the go-ahead for trial balloon rides at ancient burial grounds here from early October. The area features the Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group, a cluster of fifth century 'kofun' burial mounds designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. Trial balloon rides using helium gas were initially scheduled to get off the ground in spring 2023 but suspended due to a leak. Authorities here plan to use Daisen Park in the city's Sakai Ward as the launch site. The moored balloon will use helium gas for buoyancy to stay 100 meters above the ground. It will be tethered to the ground by cables and raised or lowered by mechanical equipment. Authorities will make an environmental impact assessment of the flights during the first year. If no problems arise, rides will continue for another six years. The fare for adults is expected to be around 4,000 yen ($28), but the amount will likely vary depending on whether the passenger is a Sakai resident, a domestic resident outside the city or a foreign resident/visitor. Details will be finalized later. Around 60,000 people are expected to take balloon rides annually. The operating company, Advance, is based in Toyooka, Hyogo Prefecture. Initial plans called for using a British-made balloon in May 2023, but the project was halted just before flights started after helium gas was found to be leaking from the balloon. The cause of the problem was not identified, and the British manufacturer later went into liquidation. As a result, authorities switched to a French manufacturer. Six years have passed since the plan was first announced. 'Safety and security are our top priorities and we want to get started,' Sakai Mayor Hideki Nagafuji told reporters. 'I believe the rides will lead to people rediscovering the charms of the Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group.' The area includes the 486-meter-long Daisen Kofun tumulus that is thought to be the final resting place of fifth century Emperor Nintoku. The keyhole-shaped moated mound is the biggest memorial of its kind in Japan and cannot be seen in its entirety from the ground. For this reason, Nagafuji announced in 2019, when the site was registered as a World Heritage Site, that the city would set up balloon flights.
